This image is a black-and-white negative showing a construction site with steel framework in progress. It appears to be an early 20th-century scene. The structure includes large steel beams and visible vertical and horizontal supports in a skeletal frame, suggesting a building under construction. A crane is evident in the background, indicating industrial equipment being used for the construction. Surrounding the site are multi-story brick buildings, some with arched windows, and areas with posters or advertisements on the walls, such as "Green Bird" and others that are difficult to discern. It looks like a cityscape with a work-in-progress development. At the bottom of the image, handwritten text reads “Progress on Steel erection S. from Noanet St” along with a date "October 22, 01" likely referring to 1901.

The image appears to be a photographic negative of a construction site. It shows the progress on steel erection from the vantage point of Noanet Street, as indicated by handwriting on the negative. The date noted is October 22, 1901.

In the foreground, there are several steel beams laid out as part of the construction process. Behind these beams, a steel structure is being erected, supported by vertical columns and cross-bracing. A large crane is also visible, presumably used to lift and place the steel components.

Buildings can be seen in the background. These structures have a classic architectural style typical of early 20th-century urban environments.

The negative creates an inverted color effect, where the sky appears dark and the structures and ground are lighter, which is characteristic of negatives before they are processed into positive images. This suggests that the original photograph is quite old, in line with the date written on it.

The image appears to be a historical document, possibly from the early 20th century, given the style of the writing and the equipment used. The photo provides a glimpse into the construction process of the time, highlighting the use of steel and the importance of scaffolding in building construction.

Overall, the image is a fascinating piece of history that showcases the evolution of construction techniques and technology over time.

The image depicts a black-and-white photograph of a construction site, with the caption "Progress on Steel Erection S. from Noanet St." at the bottom. The scene is set against a backdrop of buildings, with a prominent crane positioned in the center. The crane's boom extends upwards, while its base is situated on the ground.

In the foreground, various construction materials and equipment are scattered about. A large metal structure, likely part of the building's framework, dominates the center of the image. To the right of the crane, a brick wall bears an advertisement for "GREEN DIED," although the rest of the text is illegible.

The overall atmosphere of the image suggests that it was taken during the daytime, with the sun casting a bright glow over the scene. The photograph appears to be an archival or historical record of the construction process, providing a glimpse into the past.

This is a photograph, likely from the early 20th century, showing a construction site. The image is a negative, so the colors are inverted (light areas appear dark and vice versa). A tall crane is visible, positioned over a partially constructed structure. The crane's boom reaches up into the dark sky. The structure appears to be made of steel.

In the foreground, there's a trench or excavation. Wooden supports or ramps lead up to the construction area. Several buildings are visible in the background, including a large brick building on the right. There are some posters on the wall, including an ad for "GREEN BIRD" (a cigar brand) and other advertisements. The text at the bottom of the photo reads "Progress on Steel erection S. from Noanet St." and "OCT. 22, 07", indicating the date the photo was taken. The number "5186" is also written on the bottom right corner.

Here's a description of the image:

This is a black and white photograph showing the "Progress on Steel erection S. from Noanet St." according to the text at the bottom of the image. The photo appears to be taken at night, with the background largely dark. A tall construction crane looms over the construction site. In the foreground, there is a construction site with beams, possibly for a building's foundation or framework.

To the right, there is a multi-story building, possibly made of brick or stone, with windows visible. Adjacent to the construction site, there is a wall covered with old posters and advertisements. The posters have some text visible, including "GREEN BIRD" and "LEWIS" along with other words like "PAT WHITE" or "PAT WINTE."

The image has some handwritten text in the bottom right corner which is "OCT.22,07" and "5186" . The top right corner has "5152" also handwritten.

The photograph has a high-contrast, inverted appearance, likely due to being a negative or a digitally inverted image.
